Abstract: A system and method for monitoring a condition and an operation of a periodically moving object is provided. Herein a synchronized time average is calculated for a measurement signal, the signal containing periodical variations and obtained from the object response. In general, a frequency response is determined based on the periodical variations of the measurement signal. A signal component representing the determined frequency response is filtered from the measurement signal. The filtered signal is used as a synchronizing signal. A synchronized time average of sequences, determined by dividing the measurement signal by the synchronizing signal, is calculated.

Abstract: A system and a method for calculating a synchronized time average for a measurement signal obtained from an object to be measured and containing periodical variations. In the method: from the periodical variations of the measurement signal a frequency is determined, said frequency corresponding within predetermined limits to a frequency estimated as the periodicity characteristic of the object to be measured; a signal component representing the determined frequency is separated from the measurement signal by filtering, and the filtered signal is used as a synchronizing signal, and the measurement signal is divided into sequences by means of the synchronizing signal, and the synchronized time average of the sequences is calculated. In an example of the method, the rotating frequency or the moving frequency of the object selected as the periodicity characteristic to the object.
